The outfit is known for shows such as <em>Germania<\/em> on ZDF and <em>13 Fragen<\/em> on ZDFneo. Effective June 1 it will be part of the LEONINE Production segment while retaining its independence and brand identity. Christian Meinberger, chief digital officer of LEONINE Studios, is set to join Hyperbole&#8217;s management team.<\/p>\n<p>LEONINE CEO Fred Kogel noted: &#8220;Hyperbole&#8217;s development and formats have impressed us for some time now. The company is characterized by a clear profile, a feel for the zeitgeist and a successful mix of innovative and journalistically high-quality formats. Hyperbole&#8217;s creative team is an excellent fit for us. Together we will complement our existing IPs with new formats and expand the cross-media reach of our content. In this way, we&#8217;re broadening the growth potential for our digital production area for the long term.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Asdonk added, &#8220;We could not have wished for a better partner for further development than LEONINE Studios. Their excellent productions stand for quality on all platforms, and the overall setup of the group is an innovative and far-sighted model. We are very much looking forward to working with outstanding creatives and a bold management.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meinberger noted: &#8220;I am delighted that LEONINE is complementing its digital portfolio with the acquisition of Hyperbole, a progressive production company with award-winning journalistic formats and channels. The affiliation with LEONINE will open up further growth perspectives for Hyperbole\u2014for example, through access to our broad talent network. Together with Bastian Asdonk&#8217;s team, I look forward to driving forward the development and continuing Hyperbole&#8217;s success.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LEONINE Studios has sealed an agreement to acquire the Berlin-based production outfit Hyperbole Medien, led by Bastian Asdonk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":290,"featured_media":11930,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[2930,2931,2932,2577],"class_list":["post-11929","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bastian-asdonk","tag-fred-kogel","tag-hyperbole-medien","tag-leonine-studios"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>LEONINE Acquires Hyperbole Medien - TVEUROPE<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2022\/05\/25\/leonine-acquires-hyperbole-medien\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"LEONINE Acquires Hyperbole Medien - TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"LEONINE Studios has sealed an agreement to acquire the Berlin-based production outfit Hyperbole Medien, led by Bastian Asdonk.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2022\/05\/25\/leonine-acquires-hyperbole-medien\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-05-25T13:13:39+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-05-25T18:02:12+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/07\/Bastian-Asdonk-Hyperbole-Medien-522.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"319\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2022\/05\/25\/leonine-acquires-hyperbole-medien\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2022\/05\/25\/leonine-acquires-hyperbole-medien\/\",\"name\":\"LEONINE Acquires Hyperbole Medien - TVEUROPE\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-05-25T13:13:39+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-05-25T18:02:12+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2022\/05\/25\/leonine-acquires-hyperbole-medien\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2022\/05\/25\/leonine-acquires-hyperbole-medien\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2022\/05\/25\/leonine-acquires-hyperbole-medien\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"LEONINE Acquires Hyperbole Medien\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/\",\"name\":\"TVEUROPE\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\",\"name\":\"Mansha Daswani\",\"description\":\"Mansha Daswani is the editor-in-chief and associate publisher of World Screen.
